Samosa Dough

Tamarind Drizzle

Method

Samosa Preparation

1

Making the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the oil and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

2

Resting the Dough

Gradually add water until a smooth dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

3

Preparing the Filling

For the filling, mix crab meat, onion, green chili, ginger, cilantro, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

4

Shaping the Samosas

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a thin oval. Cut in half to form two semi-circles.

5

Filling the Samosas

Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone, and seal the edge. Fill with the crab mixture and seal the top edge.

6

Frying the Samosas

Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the samosas until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
